Raylie

I was surprised and didn’t realize I slipped my tongue. I turned to Vivienne who was throwing a death glare at me.

“I mean nursing her pocket since she was broke, as you said. She accidentally broke my friend's phone.” I immediately amended what I just said.

“Oh, I am so sorry for that. Is the problem has been settled? How am I going to repay you, then?”

“That’s nothing, Mrs. Alfonso.”

“Oh, join us for dinner, then. I'll just prepare the table.”

“Mom! You shouldn’t feed this brute. The stocks were just enough for us for a month!” Vivienne yelled at her Mom who went to the kitchen.

“Nah! Giving him dinner would not hurt. After all, you are indebted to him.”

“Indebted my ass.” She whispered, shooting a dark glare at me. “What book do you need to borrow? Tell me then leave!

    Vivienne“Heck! What am I going to do now?” I cursed under my breath.I stayed outside the classroom. I am afraid to enter the classroom. It just now that it dawned to me what I just said to Raylie last night. I've acted recklessly and let my pride ruled over me.What if he told everyone that I am living in slumps? Well, I know how society treated those in the lower class. Not that I am just embarrassed. It’s actually one of the things. But the main reason I want to keep it is to avoid getting my life worst than ever.I turned my back. I was still in doubt. But what if he suddenly grows a heart? I remembered he genuinely said to my mother that he likes our food. That night, I saw a totally different version of Raylie’s personality.“Penny for your thoughts?”I turned to face the guy who talks behind me.“Why are you still outs

    Vivienne “Can I have a moment, Vivienne?” Sheena approached just right until we've got dismissed from the last morning's subjects. “Sure.” I smiled. I was still in deep thought. What Thore said lingered in my head. “What is it?” “Didn’t I promised to introduced you to our club president?” “Oh. I almost forgot!” “Let’s go?” The next thing I knew, Sheena and I were walking out of the classroom. On the way, I saw Raylie, leaning against the wall. He seems to wait for someone else. When we met each other’s eyes, he stands up straight and meets me halfway. “Let’s have lunch together.” He bluntly said, looking straight at me. I was surprised to hear that. I honestly prefer him to act like a brute rather than this all gentlemanly. And what is his deal now? What is he planning to do? Why would he suddenly ask me to eat with him? “Whoa! Did I hear it right? Raylie was asking her ou

    VivienneWe enter the room and were greeted by two broadcasters still on the air. Luckily the club president was still there and doing something. Sheena introduced me to him. I was easily accepted into the club and given a light task.“We have a club meeting by three in the afternoon, I was expecting the newcomer to attend.”I nodded at Jayden, the club president. We were dismissed after some words. Sheena and I went to the school pantry to get our lunch.“I have packed lunch with me,” I told her in embarrassment.Students of Brixtons were going out for lunch. Some eat and ordered food at the school pantry. But because I wanted to save, I used to bring packed lunch. Sometimes, I skipped lunch when I was too sleepy to do so.“Great! I have mine, as well!” Sheena exclaimed.“You do?” I was surprised to see her pulling out her pa

    VivienneI stretched my arm and my shoulder while walking down the university’s parking area. We had a two-hour club meeting. I didn’t expect the meeting to be a lot of fun. I thought the club president was so uptight. But it turns out, Jayden knows how to joke around. The meeting wasn’t boring, thanks to him.I yawned. I was near my scooter but a firm hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me somewhere. Later, I was slammed into the wall. My eyes widened in shock when I finally noticed who it was.I narrowed my eyes on him. “Idiot! What are you doing?!”I tried to get away from him. But Raylie used his strong arms to corner me. He leaned his hands against the wall and looked at me intently.I looked around. Good thing no one’s around. I don’t really want to join Raylie’s little show in front of the other students.And what is this? Why would he catch me and

When did he buy that one?“Young master, I am going to ask you questions then you have to answer it truthfully.”“Alright. Fire away the questions.” I said and laid my back on the metal bench near the pool while waiting for the questions.“Do you like a girl or a guy?”I threw a dark glare at Mr. Lewis. “Do you have a death wish? Do you think I am gay?!”“Y-Young master, I was just reading the question.”“Then you should not ask me the questions you already know the answer to!” I irritatingly snapped.“I'm sorry, young master.” Mr. Lewis wrote down something on the paper.“Next question is, what kind of girl is he/she?

    Vivienne‘I really wanted to eat with you.’What does it mean? Why would he ask me that way? Is he changing tactics? Sure he is. That egoistic brute! He might not be over it. I don’t mean to put him into embarrassment. It’s his fault that he was embarrassed. He toyed me! He should know that I am not the kind who he can play around with.“That asshole!”“Huh? Are you referring to me?”I turned to Aria who got flustered from my sudden outburst. In front of us are the mountains of pieces of denim we are folding.I smiled at her. “Not you. I was referring to my asshole classmate who used to pester me.”

Your sense of fashion was… horrible.""And cheap.”I glared at the twins.“Have you eaten a leftover moldy food that you suddenly turned to someone we didn’t know?”“Nah! Loki, he must be a fake. He is not the real Raylie. He must have choked our friend.” Logan yelled, exaggerating the situation.

They copied your voice, really well.”Loki leaned his arm on my shoulder. I was in the field already. I couldn’t believe Vivienne pushed me hard just like that. Then, I heard the uproar of the students. My voice was heard in all the corners of Brixtons University, proclaiming myself to a girl. I don’t knowUgh!I breathed harshly. What is Vivienne thinking denying it all? She should be grateful, instead. It’s her time to be popular. If she sticks with me, she'll enjoy the same privileges that the Titans had. She can skip classes without getting failing grades. No one will ever bully her

    Vivienne It’s been a month and I am always there at Raylie’s villa, taking care of him while sharing with him the lessons that we had at school. He insisted on making me stay in the villa and I agreed just because he has to recover from his wounds and fractures. I told him I’ll be back in the apartment once he is fully recovered. Sometimes, I thought he was just faking the pain already just to keep me in the villa. His face was totally healed and he can walk already. Sometimes he was still limping and complained he was in pain but I usually caught him walking straightly. Just like now. He was walking on the pavement in his garden. It’s Saturday morning and we usually hang out in his garden during weekend mornings. I fished out my phone from my pocket and took a video of him walking. Then I silently walked towards him. “Boyfriend!” I yelled behind his back. Raylie seemed to be startled and stopped walking on the pavement. He started to

    Raylie When I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital suite. Vivienne was there. And her eyes were red. I guess she was crying, again. “Oh, my God! You’re awake!” Vivienne quickly hugged me. I gathered her to my chest. “How long have I been asleep?” I whispered. “Almost twenty-four hours.” “And I guess you were crying for more than twenty-four hours. Look at your eyebags. Did you even take a nap?” “How could I sleep? You haven’t woken up since you collapsed in the building!” She hissed and let go of me. “And what kind of brain do you have? Why didn’t you call the police? You should not go there alone!” Vivienne started to nagged. “Right, you should not go there alone.” Logan entered the room together with Loki and Thore. “You’re such a fool! Wh

    Raylie I asked Vivienne to live in the condo unit I took for her but she insisted on moving into the old apartment they used to live in. She said she paid for the rent for the whole Spring season. She felt better staying in the place where she paid with her hard earned money rather than in a comfortable condo unit that I provided for her. I don’t get it but I just agreed. After what just happened, after what we faced, I don’t want us to fight again. “It’s been a while since we went to the park together. I want to go there again.” Said Vivienne. It’s already dark. We enjoyed hanging out together with our friends. We went to the mall after school, played arcades and ate dinner together. It’s been a while since we laughed like that. And it feels so good. “Aren’t you tired?” Vivienne shook her head. “I wanted to go t

I turned to her, stunned.“How did you get this?” I asked her.“I made a deal with Dad and Mom just to get that, your cards and for you to go back to school. So, you should do better at school starting tomorrow. Don’t skip school ever again, understand? You go to school and don’t do something foolish or you’ll be locked here again.”I sighed and plopped on the bed. “How can I do that? The only reason why I am coming to school wasn't there anymore.” I lazily closed my eyes.Thore and the twins told me that Vivienne and her family moved to a small town far from here. I tried to come to her but I couldn't. And even now that Chloe made a deal with our parents, I am certain Dad won’t let me come to wh

    Vivienne St. Louis was a fishing village. How can Mom make pickles here? I sighed. It’s been three days since we moved here and Mom hasn't found a job. Me as well. How can a highschool student find a job in a small town like this? I sat on the wide seawall while watching the sundown. It’s always like this everyday since the first day. Mom would go to the shoreline to buy a bunch of new catched fish and she would sell it in retail at the town. While Vianna transferred to the nearby school. I felt sorry for Vianna. I know it’s hard for her too. And me, I don’t know what to do. I haven’t processed my papers from Brixton yet. All I just want is to escape from there. I sighed. I was thinking what are they doing right now? Were they happy? Is everyone celebrating the newly engaged couple? How about Raylie. Why didn’t he come that night? Thore said that it’s Raylie

    Raylie “Let me out!” I shouted at the security guard. But they just pushed me back inside the main door. “You can’t go out, young master. That’s what the master told us.” Every exit was being guarded. I was about to come and meet Thore and Vivienne that night but my father’s men blocked me. My Dad even informed them to fight me if I insisted on going. As long as I am alive, it’s fine even if I am hurt. And that’s fucking bullshit! They arrange my engagement without my knowledge! I was surprised to hear the announcement. And I am sure Vivienne was confused as hell. I wanted to explain to her. I wanted to tell her that I will break the engagement even if it will cause me and my parents to disinherit me. I don’t care! My parents were already controlling Chloe’s life and I won’t let them do it to me too. I start

    Vivienne I was surprised to see that Mom was home when I came. I thought she’ll going to scold me for coming home late but she just asked me if I wanted to drink milk before going upstairs. “Why are you still awake? Were you waiting for me?” I felt guilty about that. I waited for nothing while keeping my Mom awake and waiting for me to come home. I am sure Vianna told her I went to my classmate’s birthday party. Mom gave me a soft smile. “I can’t sleep. That’s it.” Her voice was sad. I went to the counter top and sat across from her. I realized our things were packed. Why did she pack it? “What’s the matter, Mom? Is everything alright?” She smiled at me again. Then her tears rolled down. “We paid for the next month’s rent, right?” I nodded. “Actually, we pa

    Vivienne We were starting to enjoy the party when the center stage was suddenly lightened up. The host took the microphone and started the show. He first presented the birthday celebrant, then the parents of Szane. I don’t know what else he was talking about but it seems to me that the party wasn’t all about the birthday celebrant but also the announcement of how their family businesses were going. “Raylie, your Mom asked me to bring you to their table.” Loki said. He just came from somewhere after taking a call. “They were here?” Raylie asked, confused. “You didn’t know?” He threw his head back then turned to me. I don’t know what to say. Raylie took my hand and pulled me to stand up. “Come. I’ll introduce you to my parents.” I started to panic and slipped my hands from his grasp.

    VivienneIt’s the night of the party. Raylie picked me up at the expensive salon he rented to accommodate my needs. Well, I don’t need anything to get fixed. A light makeup and slight curls in my hair were just enough. I don’t want anything fancy. But all the simplicity I wanted had been covered with the elegance of the red gown that Raylie bought for me.Even the stilettos stand out. I don’t usually use heels but I guess, the occasion asked for it. I once wished to dress up like how I did before. And I guess, tonight is the best time to do it.“Gosh! Your prince was already waiting for you, Ms. Alfonso. Hurry up!”Suzette called out for me. She’s the one who did my hair and make up.“Thanks for everything, Ms. Suzette.” I said with a wide smile, giving my reflection a final glance.
